I was looking at the 10K results and Ethiopia had 4 people in the final. Why can they have 4 and everyone else only have 3? Or am I wrong about that rule.

they get a bonus because of kenny b's gold in 2003
I believe the defending champion gets an automatic berth in addition to the other three from that country.
Yeah, if the defender comes back, his country can have three others, a total of four. We'll have four in the men's 200 and 110-meter hurdles, I believe.
they won but are they clean....i don't know if they bother to test at the world's...anybody know for sure?

Correct.
Kenya has 1.Benjamin Limo 2.John Kibowen 3.Eliud Kipchoge and 4.Isaac Songok in the 5,000metres.
Kipchoge is the defending champion.

AH, DIRTBAG, WE FLUSH OUT OUR DRUGGIES, WHILE YOU CONTINUE TO GLORIFY CHEATERS LIKE GEB....
You, of all people, flush out druggies? You moron, you yourself are a idiotic white trash who can stand to see Geb and others earn their merits. You are a disgrace to mankind.

This is a perfect example to look at some examples of astounding, real life, unpracticed stupidity.
The poster asked a simple question. The first reply was correct. That should have ended the thread. Instead, two more felt compelled to give exactly the same answer as though their identical reply was more correct than everyone else's.
Then, the above idiot, who is easily recognizable insofar as he has verbally crapped out similar slanderous tirades on other posts, somehow finds means of instituting DOPING accusations into a thread completely unrelated.
AH, DIRTBAG, WE FLUSH OUT OUR DRUGGIES, WHILE YOU CONTINUE TO GLORIFY CHEATERS LIKE GEB....
Here we find true confirmation of "johnny carson"'s sad childhood accident which left him bereft of a fully functional cerebral cortex. We find him accusing Haile Gebrselassie, 18 time WR holder, 2 time Oly champ on injuries, 4 time WC champ, WR in the debut marathon, 1:46 at 800, 3:31 at 1500, 7:25 at 3K, 8:01 at 2 miles, 12:39 at 5K, 26:22 at 10K, 41:38 at 15K, 59:40 in the half, 2:06:35 in the full, athlete who ran 20K roundtrip from age 6 to school barefoot at 8,000 feet altitude every day, of using drugs to last 13 years at the top of the sport.
If you can find the time, dear posters, click the "report post" button over johnny's post and write in the "your name" section: Ban this idiot.
With all hope, Rojo will exact swift justice.
Totally for that....can't stand idiots such as this.
GEB takes 14 aspirin a day so as to thin his blood.....
I heard it was 25 asprin, 2 moderate sized snails, 1 tree frogs liver and one cup of cat urine mixed with cinnamon.

Are you serious? Gecko urine and goat bile. Geez, get your facts straight.

I don't think such fellows such as Johnny Carson deserve too much time in terms of a response. They are attention seekers.

Could you be any more of a jerk? You're attacking a whole nation of people (USA) because A FEW people, who don't fall into the domain of distance runners, have taken steroids? If Bekele were on drugs, which I don't believe he is, I wouldn't be an ass and insult all Ethiopians. Please grow up, all Americans are not imperialist SOB's who want to take your oil and think they're better than you.
Gebreselasie got a wr in the marathon?
I think that was the fastest ever first attempt at a marathon. That would be not counting the one he ran in his teen years.

I believe he was CONDEMNING the labeling of Ethiopians as cheaters.
You need to read carefully to avoid needlessly insulting people.
